MUSSELS AND PASTA WITH CREAMY WINE SAUCE



Mussels and Pasta with Creamy Wine Sauce image

I love seafood and always have a bag, or two, of mussel meat in the freezer. It's fairly inexpensive and is usually found in a case by the fresh fish. This cooks up really quickly, so have everything prepped before starting.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Mussels

Time 30m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ ounces linguine pasta
4 ounces frozen mussel meat
4 teaspoons unsalted butter, divided
3 ounces cremini mushrooms
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 large clove garlic, minced
¼ cup dry white wine
1 pinch red pepper flakes
⅓ cup light whipping cream (18%)
½ lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Place mussel meat in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Gently warm the mussels until they release their water, about 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
  • Wipe out the skillet with paper towels. Melt remaining 3 teaspoons butter in the skillet. Cut any large mushrooms into smaller pieces. Add to the skillet and sprinkle with pepper. Cook until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour wine into the skillet, add red pepper flakes, and cook until wine has reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in cream and add mussels. Heat until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Use tongs to lift linguine out of the pot and add to the skillet with some of the cooking water. Toss to coat with sauce. Plate and garnish with lemon zest.

3 pounds mussels
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil

MUSSELS IN GREEN CURRY SAUCE



Mussels in Green Curry Sauce image

Is there anything more comforting than a bowl of mussels with a warm, luscious sauce? The mussels come together in no time, but don't lack any flavor in this delicious recipe. That's because as the mussels cook, they release their own liquid, which is packed with flavor from the ocean. Don't forget the bread! You'll want to soak up all of this curry sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds mussels
8 baguette slices, cut on an angle
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped stems
2 heads baby bok choy, white and green parts separated, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons green curry paste
Grated zest of 1 lime, plus lime wedges for serving
2/3 cup coconut milk
4 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Remove any hairy beards from the mussels. Discard any mussels that are open and don't close after being tapped. Add the mussels to a medium bowl and cover with cold water; stir with your hand to remove any sand. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Stir in the ginger, cilantro stems and the white parts of the bok choy. Cook until slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry paste and lime zest. Stir to coat the vegetables, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and add the mussels. Cover and cook until the mussels open, 5 to 7 minutes (discard any unopened mussels). Uncover and reduce the heat to low. Add the green parts of the bok choy and half of the cilantro leaves. Toss to wilt slightly.
  • Divide the mussels and sauce among shallow bowls and top with the remaining cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges and the toasted baguette slices.
